Don't forget to like, subscribe and leave us a comment! The three of us finally get into something that's been on the calendar for a while: what actually makes a good Les Paul. Zach brings out all his Les Pauls, Rhett has his R9, and Addison shows off the 2007 Studio Faded he's had since he was 15. We talk about what to listen and feel for when you're shopping — weight, acoustic resonance, how the D and G strings behave, and why the nut is almost always the reason your Les Paul won't stay in tune. Plus PAF pickup obsession, the case for unpotted pickups, top wrapping, tone woods, and why the inconsistency of Gibsons is a feature, not a bug. Hot take this week from Nicholas: flame tops and figured maple are ugly, and matching headstocks make a guitar look cheap. We're split. Rig dip goes to Matt, who spent his life working in music stores and trading his way up to a rig that might be the most expensive we've ever seen. 1964 SG, 1957 Strat, 1964 ES-335, 1952 Telecaster, two Two-Rocks, a Friedman, and a pedal board with too much gain?

For many Americans, contact with the criminal legal system comes with a hidden price tag. Without their knowledge, incarcerated people can often rack up large bills owed to the government to pay for the cost of their own incarceration. Sociologist Brittany Friedman explains how these "pay-to-stay" laws work, how civil lawsuits are used to collect that money after release, and why the push to reform these criminal legal fines and fees has drawn bipartisan support.   For more on this topic: Read the article mentioned in the episode, Civil Lawfare, co-authored by Friedman and published in the journal Social Problems  Listen to her podcast, Exploitation Nation Check out her book, Carceral Apartheid: How Lies and White Supremacists Run Our Prisons Read her SSN key findings brief, Ending Modern-Day Slavery in California

Superteams: The Science and Secrets of High-Performing Teams by Ron Friedman https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/198218633X https://Superteamsquiz.com/superteams-masterclass Ronfriedmanphd.com The ultimate playbook for building high-performing teams, packed with counterintuitive insights, surprising science, and real-world lessons from the most comprehensive study of elite groups ever conducted. What do the best teams do differently? To find out, award-winning social psychologist Ron Friedman surveyed thousands of teams and pinpointed the precise habits that separate the best from the rest. The results upend everything we think we know about teamwork. It turns out that the most successful teams aren’t the ones that collaborate most, get along best, or put in the longest hours. What really sets them apart is the way they manage their energy and attention, bring out the best in one another, and keep improving over time. Blending eye-opening discoveries with unforgettable stories, Superteams takes you inside the writers’ room of Succession and Bridgerton, the recording studio of ABBA and Fleetwood Mac, the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants, the laboratories of Nobel Prize–winning scientists, the locker rooms of NBA and NFL teams, and the boardrooms of the world’s most innovative companies. You will learn: -A simple rule that instantly cuts meeting time in half -How the best teams make focus easier, not harder -The one question that makes team decisions up to 30% smarter -The only office perk that improves performance (spoiler: it’s not coffee) -How personal productivity hacks make teamwork harder -Why feeling like the smartest person in the room is a red flag -Why top performers care more about disappointing their peers than their boss -How the best teams avoid burnout without working fewer hours -The science of truly restorative breaks, evenings, and vacations -How to build a team that keeps getting better (even when you’re not in charge) Smart, insightful, and relentlessly practical, this is your science-backed guide to turning your team into a Superteam. About the author Ron Friedman, PhD, is an award-winning psychologist who helps leaders build high-performing teams. He is the bestselling author of The Best Place to Work and Decoding Greatness, and the founder of Superteams, Inc., where he delivers keynotes, workshops, and executive advisory to senior leaders around the world. An expert on human motivation, Friedman has served on the faculties of the University of Rochester, Nazareth College, and Hobart and William Smith Colleges. He contributes regularly to Harvard Business Review, and his work has been featured in The New York Times, Financial Times, Bloomberg, NPR, CBS, FOX, NBC, Fast Company, The Washington Post, Forbes, and Inc.

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & Damon Friedman of SOF Missions   LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers battlefield-forged leadership wisdom with Dr. Damon Friedman — retired Air Force Special Operations Lt. Colonel, three-time Bronze Star recipient, and founder of SOF Missions, a nonprofit fighting the veteran suicide epidemic killing 20+ Americans a day.   From juvenile delinquent in South LA to elite special warfare officer with four combat deployments, Dr. Friedman breaks down why comfort is a disease, the one character trait that kills more companies than bad strategy, and the leadership lessons most CEOs will never learn unless they've operated where failure means death — not a bad quarter.   Twenty veterans will take their lives today. Dr. Friedman has made it his mission to stop that — and this conversation is part of how. Buy the book, share the episode, support the mission.     

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with author and journalist Matti Friedman. On May 31, 2026, President Isaac Herzog attended the memorial ceremony for the fallen soldiers of the First Lebanon War (Operation 'Peace for the Galilee'), held at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. On the same day, the IDF announced that Israel had captured the historic Beaufort Castle and the surrounding strategic ridge as it pushed deeper into Lebanon. This week, we call upon Friedman to delve into the cultural resonance of this Crusader fort for Israelis. He shares his perspective on the site based upon his personal experiences as a soldier before the IDF pullout from the security zone in 2000, which he recounted in his book, "Pumpkin Flowers." After Friedman gives us the historical background to understand the conflict, we discuss the catch-22 Israel is again sucked into in southern Lebanon. And so, this week, we ask Matti Friedman, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Drawing from years of marriage counseling and relationship guidance, he discusses the challenges couples face in building trust, maintaining emotional connection, and creating lasting love.From communication struggles and recurring conflict to intimacy, infidelity, and marriage repair, Rabbi Friedman reveals the hidden patterns he sees again and again. He explains why some relationships grow stronger through adversity while others drift apart, and how healthy marriages are built through understanding, validation, and consistent effort.Why do good people cheat? What does real intimacy actually mean? How can couples rebuild trust after betrayal or years of emotional distance? And what daily habits strengthen a marriage long before a crisis appears?Whether you're dating, engaged, newly married, or celebrating decades together, this conversation offers practical marriage advice, relationship wisdom, and powerful insights into communication, conflict resolution, personal growth, and building a healthier, more meaningful marriage.

THE LIBERTARIAN CASE AGAINST OPEN BORDERS, THE LP'S WORST CONVENTION IN MEMORY, AND TWO 300-FOOT STATUES THAT NEED TO GET BUILT. We break down the GLP-1 craze and why the shortcut costs more than the drug, then make the full libertarian nationalist argument on immigration — Friedman, Hoppe, Putnam, and the bacon cheeseburger. Spike Cohen joins to respond to the LPNH disaffiliation, Andrew Allgood's arrest, and the question of whether the Libertarian Party has any runway left. Camellia closes on the viral plan to build two 300-foot Lewis and Clark statues on the Missouri River and what it means for American culture.

In this episode, Dr. Rob Assibey and Dr. Cynthia Chen-Joea are joined by Family Medicine Revolution legends Dr. Jay W. Lee and Dr. Rachel Friedman. Dr. Friedman was one of two Santa Rosa family medicine residents (along with Dr. Nicole Mohlman) who were fed up with the academic establishment's attitude toward family medicine, and began to draw up plans to make family medicine a force in healthcare. From the Family Medicine T-shirt Revolution, to the social media storm that Dr. Lee championed with #FMRevolution, you'll hear the legends themselves talk about the origin story of this incredible movement and why it's important to carry, and pass on, that torch! Guests: Jay W. Lee, MD, MPH is a family physician leader and public health advocate who co-founded the FMRevolution hashtag – a grassroots movement reclaiming the power, purpose, and future of Family Medicine. He is a passionate voice for primary care justice, physician workforce renewal, and training the next generation to lead boldly, speak truth, and rebuild a health system rooted in relationships, equity, and community. Rachel Friedman, MD is a family physician in Santa Rosa and sees herself as a "whole person-ologist"-- a specialist not just in one particular organ system, but in the way all of the elements in a person's body, mind, heredity, and environment interact to create health/disease. She moved to Santa Rosa in 2008 to complete family medicine residency, with an additional fellowship in Integrative Medicine, and fell in love with this area. In 2012, she joined KP Santa Rosa as both a full-scope family physician and founding faculty of a new KP family medicine residency. She recently became Program Director of the training program, a leadership role that allows her to continue seeing patients and teaching, while pursuing her passions for whole person, patient-centered healthcare, equity/inclusion, and healthcare transformation/innovation.

Young people today face extraordinary pressures. Social media overload, academic stress, peer expectations, school violence, immigration fears, and family instability have all contributed to rising rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers. For many young people, the burden becomes even heavier when incarceration, deportation, or injustice directly impacts their families.At the same time, adults navigating serious health challenges face their own emotional struggles, including fear, uncertainty, and the need to find meaning amid illness and change.In two compelling conversations, author and criminal justice activist Amy Friedman and surgeon-author Dr. Anthony Goodman explore the emotional realities of trauma, healing, compassion, and resilience from very different perspectives — yet with remarkably similar themes of humanity and hope.Amy Friedman, co-founder of POPS (Pain of the Prison System) the Club and editor of A SECRET CHORD: Stories, Poetry, and Art, discusses how PATHfinder and POPS Clubs across the country provide teenagers affected by incarceration, deportation, and injustice with safe spaces to express themselves through writing and art. These programs allow young people to transform pain into creativity while finding support, understanding, and connection.Friedman explains why policymakers, educators, parents, and community leaders must prioritize the mental health and emotional well-being of teenagers, especially during a time of growing uncertainty and fear. She also highlights the importance of encouraging creative expression through essays, poetry, storytelling, music, photography, and visual art as powerful tools for healing and self-discovery.Joining the program as well is Dr. Anthony Goodman, a highly respected surgeon whose career spanned decades of major medical advances before the era of CAT scans, MRIs, and minimally invasive surgery. In his book GREAT SAVES AND TERRIBLE LOSSES: The Journeys of a Surgeon, Dr. Goodman reflects on the triumphs and heartbreaks of life in medicine — and on the deeply personal challenge of being diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease.Now experiencing healthcare from the patient's perspective, Dr. Goodman offers a rare and honest look at living with Alzheimer's while maintaining purpose, joy, and dignity. Accompanied by his wife, Maribeth, he discusses coping strategies, treatment approaches, and the emotional impact of the diagnosis. He also addresses larger issues within today's healthcare system, including how profit-driven medicine can undermine compassion and trust between doctors and patients.Together, these two conversations reveal the profound importance of empathy, storytelling, emotional support, and human connection.

What happens when the woman who spent years caring for others suddenly becomes the one who needs care? This week on the Glow Up, Gyrl Podcast, Kyra sits down with Lindsay Friedman, four-time founder, lifelong multigenerational caregiver, and CEO of CareBloom and LTCareNav. Lindsay's journey into the caregiving space began as a professional working in memory care, hospice, and assisted living. But when her grandmother needed care, she realized that caring for a family member is an entirely different experience, and the gap in support for families navigating that was enormous. That gap became her mission. What makes this conversation so rich is that Lindsay has lived this from every single angle: as a professional caregiver, as a family caregiver, and as a care recipient herself after a catastrophic nerve injury following the birth of her daughter. In this episode: How Lindsay went from professional caregiver to founder of two companies Why caring for a family member is completely different from caring professionally The powerful reframe from "caregiver" to "care partner" and why it changes everything Why women avoid long-term care planning and how that avoidance creates a cycle How becoming a care recipient herself transformed the way Lindsay leads and shows up The honest truth about what caregiving does to a relationship when roles get blurred Why planning for long-term care is an act of self-worth and self-protection All about LTCareNav, your free online senior care advisor Whether you are currently navigating caregiving, watching a parent age, or someone who wants to break the cycle for the next generation, this episode is going to stay with you.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author and foreign affairs columnist Thomas Friedman joins veteran broadcaster Larry Mantle for a wide-ranging conversation on global instability, geopolitical conflict, technology, climate, and the forces reshaping the modern world.Drawing from decades of reporting on international affairs and themes explored in The World Is Flat, Friedman examines how globalization, political fragmentation, economic disruption, and environmental pressures are colliding in unprecedented ways.Topics include:• Global instability and shifting world order• U.S. foreign policy and the Middle East• Technology, AI, and economic disruption• Climate change and global resilience• Democracy, polarization, and the future of leadership

Young people today face extraordinary pressures. Social media overload, academic stress, peer expectations, school violence, immigration fears, and family instability have all contributed to rising rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers. For many young people, the burden becomes even heavier when incarceration, deportation, or injustice directly impacts their families.At the same time, adults navigating serious health challenges face their own emotional struggles, including fear, uncertainty, and the need to find meaning amid illness and change.In two compelling conversations, author and criminal justice activist Amy Friedman and surgeon-author Dr. Anthony Goodman explore the emotional realities of trauma, healing, compassion, and resilience from very different perspectives — yet with remarkably similar themes of humanity and hope.Amy Friedman, co-founder of POPS (Pain of the Prison System) the Club and editor of A SECRET CHORD: Stories, Poetry, and Art, discusses how PATHfinder and POPS Clubs across the country provide teenagers affected by incarceration, deportation, and injustice with safe spaces to express themselves through writing and art. These programs allow young people to transform pain into creativity while finding support, understanding, and connection.Friedman explains why policymakers, educators, parents, and community leaders must prioritize the mental health and emotional well-being of teenagers, especially during a time of growing uncertainty and fear. She also highlights the importance of encouraging creative expression through essays, poetry, storytelling, music, photography, and visual art as powerful tools for healing and self-discovery.Joining the program as well is Dr. Anthony Goodman, a highly respected surgeon whose career spanned decades of major medical advances before the era of CAT scans, MRIs, and minimally invasive surgery. In his book GREAT SAVES AND TERRIBLE LOSSES: The Journeys of a Surgeon, Dr. Goodman reflects on the triumphs and heartbreaks of life in medicine — and on the deeply personal challenge of being diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease.Now experiencing healthcare from the patient's perspective, Dr. Goodman offers a rare and honest look at living with Alzheimer's while maintaining purpose, joy, and dignity. Accompanied by his wife, Maribeth, he discusses coping strategies, treatment approaches, and the emotional impact of the diagnosis. He also addresses larger issues within today's healthcare system, including how profit-driven medicine can undermine compassion and trust between doctors and patients.Together, these two conversations reveal the profound importance of empathy, storytelling, emotional support, and human connection. Whether helping teenagers process trauma through creative expression or helping patients navigate devastating medical diagnoses with dignity and hope, both guests remind us that healing is about far more than medicine or policy alone — it is about being heard, understood, and cared for as human beings.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.

I wanted to talk to a lawyer 'cause, yeah, lawyers are the ones that see stuff that falls the whole way down to the level of legal action. But I wanted to find out what are the main categories of things that wind up in legal land when it comes to broker or EBC (employee benefit consultant) payment agreements. Like, what are the top ways that compensation agreements go horribly awry? For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Doug Aldeen, my guest today, rose to the challenge. And let me just state for the record that, while there are a whole lot of brokers and EBCs who would or do engage in some of these practices, there are also many who do not; and/or it might not be the broker/EBC themselves but the company that they work for who is up to some of the things that we're gonna be talking about in the episode today. But I really, for sure, want to support the gang of honest actors, great fee-based, integrity-based brokers and EBCs; and I wanna support them all day long, many of whom listen to the show and are part of the Relentless Health Value Tribe. But let's talk about how the rent-seeking ones roll so that you can spot them. See what they did there. So, yeah … the first kind of ground zero that Doug and I talk about today is just up-front direct compensation agreements, which may be just ridiculously complicated and/or ridiculously expensive compared to what others are charging for a similar group. Where there's mystery, there is margin. That is so relevant in so many situations, and this is just another one of them. So then, after that, Doug and I move on; and we get into three categories of stuff that sits in that undisclosed or maybe even disclosed zone, where just the whole model of payments is problematic on its face. First up (and this is a biggie), brokers/EBCs recommending rent-seeking solutions to their clients. Like, a broker or EBC suggests a solution to their client where the solution itself makes money on a perverse incentive, and then the broker or EBC gets a piece of that action, which might be called shared savings. So, yeah … even if the dollars to the broker or EBC are disclosed, a naive plan administrator might not see that overcharge for what it really is—and Doug gives a bunch of examples in the show that follows. Chris Deacon (post) and Justin Leader (post) also wrote posts about this. Donovan Pyle wrote a whole book about it. Okay … the next big category of typical payment model methodologies that Doug Aldeen (again, a lawyer) has seen plans get themselves into trouble with their EBCs and brokers—the ones who are sharks, I mean, circling the plan like it's a gold mine—this big category is undisclosed payments from vendors who the plan doesn't realize have a business relationship with the EBC or broker. This can also be a whole basket of solutions that the EBC/broker wants to install, which is basically this problematic payment model at scale. And, right, this matters because then the plan doesn't know if this particular point solution, PBM, stop-loss carrier … Right? They think their broker EBC is recommending it because it's the best option for that particular plan, not understanding that it's the right option for the broker or EBC. And these dollars can be undisclosed because, to a certain extent, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, it's a little bit unclear on certain points. There's some loopholes if you go looking for them because you are so inclined. We get into more detail on this later on. After this, Doug offers a really great roadmap with six steps in it for any plan to really think about as they consider. First, the maybe integrity of their broker or EBC and what is being recommended to the plan. And that's important because, look—and we say this in the conversation that follows, but I'm gonna say it again here loudly—if a plan realizes that their broker or EBC is not really serving the best interest of the plan, there are great options out there. There are great EBCs and brokers who are honest, upstanding that really care about their clients, their plans, their members, and doing the right thing. But telling the difference between the not-so-good ones and the good ones takes some diligence, takes some validation on the part of the plan sponsor. It just does. But the amount of dollars that can be saved is millions, and this is actually, saving those millions is actually better for the plan because it's not like those dollars were going in somebody's pocket. It's not like they were being put toward better, safer, lower premiums. These are dollars that can be cut, and the plan is actually better.

His theorems show that even concrete statements involving nothing more exotic than rational numbers cannot be proved or refuted within ZFC. The foundations of mathematics, Friedman argues, are not settled bedrock but vertiginous — made more mysterious, not less, by his own work.
